My post has really nothing to do with whether the secession itself was moral/legal. I am speaking strictly on the fact they seceded because they wanted to protect the 'rights' of a wealthy few to own other human beings. That in of itself disqualifies such people from being glorified in the form of a monument on public grounds.
OK, but my point is that slavery was in the US constitution and thus it was not treasonous to insist on obeying that constitution, in fact, it was treasonous to attack those that wished to have the constitutional provisions adhered to or be allowed to leave the union.
